Last Listing description (March 2026)

Opportunities like this are becoming incredibly rare in Brooklyn. Positioned across two substantial allotments at 16 and 18 Stenhouse Avenue, this outstanding development site delivers exactly what serious builders and developers are searching for - scale, location and certainty. With plans and permits approved for six premium double-storey townhouses, each designed with four bedrooms, three bathrooms and secure garages, the groundwork has already been completed. Even better, the planning permit is secured through to 2028, giving developers valuable time and flexibility to deliver a high-quality project without the usual delays and uncertainty.

Set across approximately 1,400 square metres of land, this is a site with genuine presence and exceptional development potential. The approved plans reveal a thoughtful and contemporary townhouse design that caters perfectly to the modern buyer. Spacious four-bedroom homes with multiple bathrooms continue to be among the most in-demand properties in Melbourne's inner west, attracting strong interest from families, professionals and investors alike. The appeal of generous, well-designed homes in this location ensures the end product will sit firmly in the market's sweet spot.

Brooklyn itself has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. Once considered a hidden pocket of Melbourne's west, it is now firmly on the radar for buyers seeking value, lifestyle and proximity to the CBD. Just around 10 kilometres from Melbourne's city centre, Brooklyn offers quick and convenient access to the city while still maintaining the feel of a tight-knit community. Demand has grown rapidly as buyers are priced out of neighbouring blue-chip suburbs and begin looking just next door.

That neighbouring company tells the story. Yarraville, Newport, Altona and Williamstown continue to set record prices, and Brooklyn sits right beside them, benefiting from the same connectivity and lifestyle advantages while still offering development opportunities that those suburbs no longer can. Savvy developers recognise this pattern early. They understand that when premium suburbs grow, the surrounding pockets inevitably follow.

The lifestyle offering here is another key ingredient in the success of any future project. Residents enjoy easy access to Federation Trail's walking and cycling tracks, local parks, sporting grounds and community facilities, creating an environment that appeals strongly to families and active professionals. Schools, local shopping, public transport and major road connections are all within easy reach, while the waterfront lifestyle of Altona Beach is only a short drive away.

For developers, the most valuable part of this opportunity is simple. The hard work has already been done. The time, cost and uncertainty of obtaining planning approval have been taken care of. What remains is the exciting part - bringing a well-designed six-townhouse project to life in a suburb where demand continues to strengthen year after year.

Development sites of this scale, with permits already secured, rarely reach the market in Brooklyn. When they do, they tend not to last long.

For the astute developer or investor looking to secure a project with strong fundamentals, excellent location and real upside, 16 and 18 Stenhouse Avenue represents an opportunity that would be difficult to replicate in today's market. Missing it would simply be a mistake.
